Burning Bridges Songtext

von Garth Brooks

Yesterday she thanked me for oilin' that front door
This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore
She'll never know how much I cared just that I couldn't stay
And I'll never know the reason why I always run away

Chorus:
Burning bridges one by one
What I'm doin' can't be undone
And I'm always hoping someday
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
But every time the chance comes up
Another bridge goes down

Last night we talked of old times families and home towns
She wondered if we'd both agree on where we'd settle down
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge whenever I arrived
Now through the flames I see her standin' on the other side

Repeat Chorus

Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
Knowing that the day my lesson's finally learned
I'll be standing at a river staring out across tomorrow
And the bridge I need to get there will be a bridge that I have burned

Repeat Chorus

Another bridge goes down
